BEFORE I KNEW YOU

Before I knew you, I didn't need you
Now I don't know if I can live without you
Well, I know I could, I would get on somehow
The question is, why would I really want to?

You are the moon reflecting on my ocean
You are the rainbow curving through my sky
You lift me up beyond mere survival
You have become the twinkle in my eye

Without you what would be the point in waking
Of course I would, though I wouldn't know why
Not accomplishing much more than breathing
Treading water while the world rolls by

You are the faery lights dancing through my forest
You are the shimmering stars peopling my night
I don't need you just to go on living
But you are that extra spark that makes my heart right
